Shepherd Park Plaza Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

Cost burden runs 65% here against 49.5% across Harris County. At $1,898 a month, rents run 39% over what the rest of Houston commands.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 24.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.

The filing record is not thin: 49 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 3.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $160,625, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
